My
Thoughts:

The
Cover: True
to Georgetown Academy standards, yet again a shapely pair of legs in
front of yet another prominant US landmark, this time the Washington Monument and our beauty
is wearing black and boots. I mean, makes sense if it is winter and
you are going away on a ski vaca!

The
Plot:Wow,
this was my fav so far! The drama just keeps getting more and more
intense. The plot continues to be awesome, full of surprises, with
lots of drama and lots of romance, I tell you. Sometimes things
change so fast it makes my head spin. And someone is always on the
receiving end of some nasty rumors.

The
Characters:The
characters continue to be very well written, each with their own
personalities and character flaws. It was nice to see Taryn land on
her feet, so to speak, after Brinley's nasty rumors. And Brinley can
spin a story like you wouldn't believe, so don't get on her bad side.
Ellie has gone through so much herself and poor Evan is constantly
having to put her friends before her own dreams. Everytime there is a
newsworthy scoop, it involves her friends and she has to decide again
whats more important to her.

Is
it Worth Reading?:Definitely,
I can not say that enough. It was a great change of pace as the
Georgetown Academy students took a mini vacation and joined kids from
other schools and just had some fun. I can't wait to start Book 4,
but definitely recommend the whole Georgetown Academy series and give
it 4 out of 5 crossbows.
